    There is an intrinsic micro-mort rate for working on a roof. If you take this number and work out how many hours are spent working at height fitting solar panels it’s fairly easy to put the annual deaths from fitting solar panels far above that of nuclear. There’s no centralised collection of this data though so…

    [edit: I can’t find a value for professionals anymore. This link mentions 1micromort per person on a ladder at home]
